"And you'll never walk alone ... Impact minus five seconds
it's been great knowing you guys
God bless ... You'll ne ... ver ... walk ... alone!"

The next thing that happened was a mid-mangling explosion of noise and light.
And the next thing that happened after that was that the Heart of Gold continued on its way perfectly normally with a rather fetchingly redesigned interior. It was somewhat larger
and done out in delicate pastel shades of green and blue. In the centre a spiral staircase
leading nowhere in particular
stood in a spray of ferns and yellow flowers and next to it a stone sundial pedestal housed the main puter terminal. Cunningly deployed lighting and mirrors created the illusion of standing in a conservatory overlooking a wide stretch of exquisitely manicured garden. Around the periphery of the conservatory area stood marble-topped tables on intricately beautiful wrought-iron legs. As you gazed into the polished surface of the marble the vague forms of instruments became visible
and as you touched them the instruments materialized instantly under your hands. Looked at from the correct angles the mirrors appeared to reflect all the required data readouts
though it was far from clear where they were reflected from. It was in fact sensationally beautiful.

"there's this Improbability Drive switch over here ..." he waved at where it had been. There was a potted plant there now.
"But where are we?" said Ford who was sitting on the spiral staircase
a nicely chilled Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster in his hand.
"Exactly where we were
I think ..." said Trillian
as all about them the mirrors showed them an image of the blighted landscape of Magrathea which still scooted along beneath them.
Zaphod leapt out of his seat.
